In Scripture...

"...by your love for one another... everyone will
recognize you as my disciples."

John 13:33-35

If Only? 

Lord, if only.  If only, this were true.  If only we loved one another.  If only everyone will recognize us as Your disciples.

As President Bush says, we will find all the terrorists.  As we wish for all the if only's, You will find all people.  By their love for one another You will know them.

From the Philippians to Israel to Ireland to El Salvador, if only our bothers and sisters will love each other and the terrorists and victims will be found embracing each other in Your love.

Only by our loving ourselves and coming to peace in our hearts that love as a ripple will reach to these corners of our earth.

Only by our putting down our arms of anger, resentment, jealousy, addition, and all that holds us from You, Lord, will peace even begin to come to our earth.

If only is in only when it begins with each one of us.

Healing of 9.11
